I have a question for those of you who shoot an M1A:
I have a Springfield Armory M1A I would like to start reloading for. I understand reloaded M1A ammo should use military grade primers, which are harder than commercial primers.
Those primers are hard to come by at this time.
I believe the harder than normal primers are needed to prevent out of battery slam fires due to the design of the M1A firing pin.
I also understand the seating depth of primers is very important in this firearm.
My question is this:
Do you M1A owners have any experience with this problem? Have you been able to use either commercial or reloaded ammo without using the harder than normal primers?
Thanks for your help.
